Charge transfer complexes of electron-rich naphthalene peri-dichalcogenides with TCNQ
摘要:
The electronic structures of several highly electron-rich 2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene peri-dichalcogenides were evaluated using optical and electrochemical methods, as well as by DFT calculations. Charge transfer complexes were formed with tetracyanoquinodimethane and resulted in absorption features that span from 300 nm to 1600 nm and HOMO-LUMO energy gaps as low as 0.8 eV.

Enhanced Glutathione Peroxidase Activity of Conformationally Restricted Naphthaleneperi-Dichalcogenides
摘要:
Conformationally restricted naphthalene peri-diselenides function as glutathione peroxidase mimetics with superior catalytic activity to that displayed by typical acyclic diaryl diselenides. Their activity was increased by electron-donating methoxy substituents, while a further 100-fold increase was observed with the corresponding ditelluride.
